Guest guest Posted September 16, 2002 Report Share Posted September 16, 2002 Jaya Guru Datta, Here is today's saying: “When an object reflects in a mirror, the original object is called as Bimba and the reflection is called as Pratibimba. Only when there is Pratibimba (reflection) we call the original object as Bimba. Otherwise, it is called as an object only. There is only one sun in the sky. We are able to see sun’s reflection in a sea, a pond, a pot and a small plate. A child which sees these reflections says that because the sun’s reflection in the ocean gives out more rays, it must be a big sun and that because the reflection in a cup of water gives fewer rays, it must be a small sun. indirectly, he implies multitude of suns. On the other hand, an elderly person says that there is only one sun and to think that there are many suns by looking at his reflections in different places is only an illusion. Similarly, men of knowledge assert that the seeming multitude of Jeevatmas is only an illusion and that there is only one Atma just as there is only one sun."
